Misiudging Silent People.

When number of good-humored people are setting out, bright and early in the morning, on some exhilarating expedition, it is pleasant to notice how lively and expansive they are. For the first hour they talk all at once, laughing their words rather than speaking them. But as the forenoon goes on, one after another drops gradually into compara- tive quiet and silence. It is not that they have ceased to enjoy the excursion and each other, but the first efferves- cence of the uncorked animal spirits of the morning has spent itself.
 In a similar fashion, as we get on in life past the period of obstreperous youth, we incline to talk less and write less, especially on the topics which we have most at heart. The younger peo pie notice this, and think it is because we are growing lukewarm on these mat ters. They deplore us, among them selves, as being Host leaders," or lost followers, of this and the other fine cause. But they do not understand. The thought is deeper and stronger in us now, perhaps, than when it was visi- ble at the surface and made more noise. We are beginning to realize the useless ness of perpetually talking, that is all. If there is thing to be said, we prefer |tto wait and say it only when and where it will hit something or somebody. -[ Atlantic Monthly.

Book.Worms and Their Food.

The book -worms-that is, the larve that cats books and binding-is named, according to MT. Sydney Klein, tene brio mollitor, and is coleopter. It is attracted by the gluten in the paste used in binding the books; and MT. Klein says that dark four-the "whole- wheat" four-coming from America, and rich in gluten, is used largely for making paste and in the manufacture of card. board. Hence the tenebrio is likely to find rich pastures in the books of to- day if he is admitted to them, and they are not medicated. Light is thrown on this subject of medication by the obser- vation of MT. Russell Gubbins, that the tenebrios have an apparent choice of colors. His tencbrios had decided preference for dark-colored paper, while light-yellow paper, almost without exception, escaped. One of the papers that escaped was light-green-an ar seuical paper. The liyht-yellow paper was probably colored with chrome-yel- low, chromate of lead. So it appear that the insects may be fought by exef> cising judgment in coloring the papern which gre to receive the pastes l-Pope. lar Science Monthly. NET

Killing Newfoundland Seals.

"Thc killing of seals is an altogether monotonous sport, unless some fierce old hood seal takes it in his head to give you chase in the water, and if he does he will give you long and an exciting one. There is, in fact, something pathetic in hunting the female hood with her young, for she will make every effort to get it out of harms way, and then, seeing that escape is impossible, will protect it will her body from the blows of the hunter, uttering her low, appealing murmur, until she herself is killed. It is a curious sight during the month of April to watch these New Foundland seals. They come out on the ice to scrub themselves, if the sun is shining, their skins will be sure to blister. A blistered seal drcads the water, as contact with it seems to subject the animal to intense pain, and so well do they know when they are in this condition that they will remain on the ice and be killed rather than enter the water and submit to the pain. If a sun burned seal is forced into the water it will utter cries of agony and try to climb back on the ice, in spite of the men who stand there threatening it with spears and guns. ."-[ New York Sun.

Right Breathing.

Breathing through the open mouth is practised for the most part only by "civilized'' men. The aboriginees of our country, and savage tribes else- where, always keep the mouth tightly closed and breathe through the nos- trils.
 Nature is a wiser teacher than fashion, for the primitive method of breathing is the best one on every principle of hygi- enc. There is danger of severe injury to the bronchial tubes and to the deli cate vessels of the lungs, in passing from the warm air of house to an at- mosphere in the neighborhood of zero, if the air is taken directly into the lungs. By passing it through the nostrils the chillis removed, and the shock from the sudden change escaped.
 Yet our readers will remember that Lieut.. Schwatka, in an article which we recent y published, said that in the most intense cold of the Arctic regions, one must usually breathe through the mouth.
 If the modern germ theory of the ori. gin of infectious diseases is true, breath ing through the nostrils is one of na- ture's safeguards. The hairs, whict line the entrance to the nostrils, may ar rest the germs floating in the air, and prevent their passage to the lungs, ane consequent absorption by the blood. Parents ought to teach their children early to breathe only through the nos trils.-YoutHs Companion.

The Pita Plant.

The pita plant of Honduras invites the enterprise of American capital and Yankee invention. Only one thing is needed and the lucky mans fortune is made. Mr. Buchard, our con- sul, reports that this pita plant, which has never been cultivated, grows spon- taneously and in apparently inexhaust- ible quanties by the margin of every river and lagoon, and, indeed, anywhere below the altitude of two thousand feet. It can be had for the cost of cut ting.
 The fibre is susceptible of a thousand uses. The people of Honduras convert it into thread for sewing boots and shoes, and into nets, fish lines and cordage. The finest hammocks and most costly are also made of it. The small quanti- ties which have been sent to this market have been manufactured into hand kerchiefs, faces, ribbons, false hair and wigs.
 The difficulty is to decorticate the plant without rotting or otherwise injur- ing the fibre. The man who can do that will be able to take fortune at the flood. In other words, brains will bring bullion. - N. Y. Herald.

Frying as It is Abused.

Frying, as the operation is usually done in this country, constitutes the basis of American simplicity in the culinary art, and all physicians are agreed that probably no other single factor is so prominent in the production of our national disease, dypep ia, as this. Ido not desire to be understood as condemning frying or any of the modifcations of the process of cooking, when properly done. On the contrary, I think it is an excellent method of pre- pairing meats, fish and many vegetables for the table. But how rarely is the American frying pan anything else than utensil for slowly stewing an article in grease. Saturated and permeated with fat, the fried artic e of food be- comes an indigestible mass, incapable of acting as an aliment.-[Geo. H. Rohe, NJ ID.

No HumOr in His Soul.

'Herrmann, the magician, is mighty clever man at his business" said Clark street gossiper, "and has made good deal of money. But he is extravagant sometimes rccklessly so, and occaslonally finds himself in trouble with his credit ors. think he has been twice in jail for debt, though understand that in both cases he suffered incarceration rather than be bulldozed into payments of sums which he did not rightfully owe. If there is any way of getting into jail that one can admire that is the way. The last time Hermann got into a scrape of this kind was, think. in Buffalo. One day, while exercising in the corridor, he thought he would have some fun with the jailer, and so he be- gan to perform before the astonished mans eyes some of his stage tricks, such as taking money out of the jailer's nose, vanishing coins out of his own hands and so on. But the jailer happened to be one of those serious, solemn individu- als who are unable to see anything funny in the world. Instead of being amused he was alarmed. And he lost no time in taking the genial professor to cell, there locking him in and remarking:
 Now let's see you pull key out of your nose and unlock that door,
 "After that poor Hermann got no more exercise in the corridor, and was watched as closely as if he were under sentence of death. Chicago Herald.

South Carolina, district, belongs to the anti-overcoat brigade, of which Hanni- bal Hamlin is the general, When the mercury is cuddling into cup at zero he walks to the capitol with his sack coat unbuttoned, and rallies his heavily wrapped colleagues on their effeminacy,
 He has not worn an overcoat in thirty five years, and never. has a fire in his room in the coldest weather. He is 60 years old, but there is not more athletic man in congress. MT. Tlllman tells with pride that he has never made the pro- fessional acquaintance of doctor. - .Atlanto Constitution.

The population of France is not quite stationary, the census for 1886 showing . gain of rearly $50, 900 for the year, of which 75, 900 was in Paris. The total, now given at ss, s1s, 900, is larger than any ever recorded before the loss of Alsace and Lorraine, which took away nearly 2,OOO, 900 people directly and in directly. However, the growth of France is very slow compared with that of other European countries from which the emigration is much heavier. Germany has now risen to some 46, 900, 900, and the British Isles, which, at the beginning of this century, had only half the popu- lation of France, are now about-eyen with it.

How Lightning is Kindled.

It is no uncommon thing for the elec-
 trical force emanating from cloud to make itself felt in attractions and repu!- sions many miles away. Clouds resting upon the remote horizon thus frequently produce perceptible efforts at distances from which the clouds themselves can not be seen. An electrical cloud hang ing mile above the ground acts induc- lively upon that ground with consider able power. When in summer time the temperature of the earth's surface is very great, the ground moist, the air calm and the sky clear, very copious supplies of vapor are steamed up from the ground under the hot sunshine.
 Clouds, however, begin at length to gather in elevated regions of the air out of the abundance of the supply. The free electricity which has been carried up with the vapor is at first pretty evenly spread through the clouds; but after time, as the electrical charge be- comes more and more intense, power full repulsive force is in the end estab- lished between the spherules of the mist, and very high degree of tension is at last produced at the outer surface of the cloud, where it is enveloped by insulat
 ing air, until in the end the expansive energy there becomes strong enough to occasion an outburst from the cloud. The escape of the redundant charge then appears 10 an observers eye as flash of lightning issuing from the cloud. Such, in its simplest form, is the way in which lightning is kindled in the storm cloud.

Prof. E. c. Pickering, of the Harvard College observatory, remarks that the many millions of dollars spent upon as- tronomy during the last two or three centuries have yielded returns whose value cannot be estimated. Aside from the knowledge gained of other worlds and of the laws governing the universe, the information obtained concerning this world has been of enormous practi. cal importance. Safe and certain com munieations between distant countries has been secured, together with accurate maps and the precise determination of time. These results have pecuniary value which would repay many times the total of all astronomical expendi- lures

They say that the flames came right out of the earth and r Sc at least 100 feet in the air, and that the snow was melted for quarter of a mile around the flame. It is claimed that there are burning coal veins under lying this section of the Bad Lands and that they account for this fire peYser

Recuperative Power.

The resistance, active and passive, of the physical system to destru tive agents is wonderful. Huge wounds heal up and leave nothing but a scar. This is true not only of the external muscular tissue, but of the internal organs, in- cluding even the brain.
 A large part of a bone may be taken out, and the bone grow again. Deadly poisons may be swallowed, and the various eliminating organs will go to work to destroy their power, and often fully succeed. Millions of persons transgress nearly every law of their physical system, and still live out half s.ssir days, because of the unceasing struggle of that other law-the law of recuperation-to undo the mischief, or to reduce it to minimum.
 A bullet has been carried in the brain, or in some large bone or muscle, for years without appreciable harm. In such cases, nature builds tough inclos- ing wall around the intruding object, thus preventing either friction or the solution of the lead and the absorption of the poison into the circulation.
 The following case, the full details of which are given in recent Lancet, strikingly illustrates the tolerance and recuperative power of the system:
 A soldier was badly wounded in the knee by the explosion of rifle. After he had lain in the hospital five months, during which time the joint constantly suppurated, and was several times laid open with the knife, the wound healed up. He became able to do his work as a messenger, and suffered no inconven- fence from the injury for eleven years. Then an abscess formed, which dis charged for some eight years, when the surgeon succeeded in. removing small portion of the brass .heel-plate of the rifle and bits of lead from the knee. The abscess remained open, occasionally discharging small portions of brass, lead and gritty matter for the next nine years, or until the summer of 1885. At that time, the surgeon at the hospital who then took charge of the case, succeeded in tracing the sinus, or opening, back to hard object in the opposite side of the joint. Laying open the flesh at this point he found and removed the offend ing cause, which was one-half of flat tened and misshapen bullet. In few weeks the man was able to walk with little inconvenience, and returned home with the prospect of perfect restoration. Even in thia--ease. jagged as was the bullet, the cavity, which was about an inch in diameter, was lined with firm capsule. e. Yout's Companion.

Paving Salt Wells.

Tho mineral waters the most esteemed in Europe for their medicinal effects arc those of Vichy and Carlsbad, and large sums are annually paid by spectators to the two municipalities for the privilege of exporting the prepared salts and the waters. Carlsbad is now open for lease for period of fifteen years, and it is ex- pected that there will be lively compe- tition to secure the privilege. In the days of the great Frederick of Prussia, Carls- bad shipped it's 'tsprudv'," but then only to persons of high distinction and as special favor, for which permission of the court was necessary. The water in those days was given as present, and the recipients made the town present in return, while those citizens who clandestinely received and executed orders from abroad were heavily fined for smuggling. It was not until 1914, and after hot struggle with those of the inhabitants who feared that the cx- portation of thermal waters would cause patients to remain at homo, that the reg ular commercial arrangement was fixed upon, which thirty years later gave place to farming. The first speculator GS4D paid the town the sum of 500 florins an nually; three years later this sum rose to 5000 forins; next came farmer who paid 1000 florins per annum, and in 1860 Heinrich Mattoni hired the privilege for ten years at an annual rent of IA, 900 florins. In 1870 the firm of Lobelch Sottlander became the farmer at 70, 900 forins for three years, at the expiration of which it offered 100, 900 forins, while an English company bid as high as 12o, ,- 900 forins. By this time the exports of the products of the springs had so large- ly increased that the commission on the sale of the "sprudel salt" alone reached the amount of the last-named rental, and it is supposed that the upset price this year will surpass $60, 900 year-a pretty good price for the overflow of a salt well.
